A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Fang Xuanling heard Gu Qing's voice increasing, "Go back, I'm tired."

"Teacher, rest early." Gu Qing walked out of Fang Xuanling with mixed feelings in his heart. Fang Xuanling's painstaking efforts and Li Shimin's warnings unknowingly filled his heart with some fear and unknown.

"Ms. Madam, let me help you." Gu Qing took the broom in Mrs. Fang's hand and began to clean the yard. It was snowing in the sky, watching the white snow fall, and there was no need to remove a thin layer of snow on the ground, but the snow would still keep falling.

"You should go back early." Mrs. Fang said in a low voice, "Son, you don't need to sweep, this is all right."

Gu Qing then put down the broom, "Master, I'm going back first."

"Okay, go home early." Mrs. Fang said in a low voice.

Seeing Gu Qing leave Fang's house, Mrs. Fang looked at her husband, "Old man, what did you say to Gu Qing? Why does this kid look so bad? I'm afraid this kid will be dazed."

"Always grow up, he is not young anymore, he should be on his own." Fang Xuanling whispered, putting the hot water belt into his wife's hands, "It's cold outside."

Mrs. Fang was sitting next to Fang Xuanling holding a warm water bottle, "I don't know how the two boys are doing now. They will be watching the new year soon, and it's time to go to worship their ancestors."

Fang Xuanling nodded, "Yes, it's another year in the blink of an eye, it's time to go to worship the ancestors."

Gu Qing walked out of Fang's house and walked alone on Zhuque Street, when he was stopped by a sedan chair, someone came to look at Gu Qing, "May I ask if Shang Shuling is in person?"

"Exactly." Gu Qing looked at him suspiciously.

"His Royal Highness invites Shang Shu Ling to speak." The other party said, "Please, Shang Shu Ling."

Sitting in the sedan chair, Gu Qing watched the carriage head towards Dongshi all the way, and stopped when he came out of the empty tavern, got off the sedan chair, and came to the second floor of the tavern, where Li Chengqian was standing on the balcony.

"His Royal Highness." Gu Qing bowed and saluted.

"Gu Qing, Father has told you everything you need to say." Li Chengqian said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty has indeed talked to me a lot." Gu Qing said, "I don't know what His Majesty the Crown Prince is looking for."

"You really have a special relationship with Gu." Li Chengqian smiled wryly and turned to look at Gu Qing, "You have been close to Qingque these years, but you have always been far away from Gu."

"His Royal Highness, let's talk about things." Gu Qing emphasized again.

Li Chengqian nodded, "I don't want my father to die of exhaustion in front of the Tai Chi Palace."

"What does His Highness the Crown Prince say?" Gu Qing asked doubtfully.

"Although it's a big treason, Gu still wants to say that the father should abdicate." Li Chengqian whispered, "Gu thinks that the father can take good care of his life in the remaining years."

Hearing what the prince said, Gu Qing also realized that instead of making Li Shimin busy with state affairs, it is better to abdicate as soon as possible. The older you are, the worse your health will be.

"What does this have to do with the minister?" Gu Qing continued.

"I hope you can help Gu." Li Chengqian said, "All the ministers and ministers of the court will follow you, Gu Qing."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince's words are wrong." Gu Qing continued, "The senior officials of Shangshu Province will never come here and will not follow my lead. They are all young people with their own ideas. If the Crown Prince wants to take the throne, they need to be convinced. I hope that the prince will not do some things in order to achieve success. It is not based on one's own influence or strength, but on one's approval, the approval of the world. "

"It seems that you are not willing to help Gu?" Li Chengqian said again.

"It's not that I don't want to help His Highness the Crown Prince, it's just that my situation is really inappropriate to help His Highness the Crown Prince to do such a thing." Gu Qing cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I'll take my leave first."

"Wait!" Li Chengqian called to stop Gu Qing, "What my father can give you, Gu can also give to you in the future, why are you so against Gu Qing?"

"You are His Royal Highness, and it is too late for ordinary people to flatter you, but don't forget about your situation, Your Highness." Gu Qing said, "I hope His Highness will stop saying such things."

"Gu understands." Li Chengqian nodded, "If Gu wants to abdicate the emperor, will you stop Gu?"

"No." Gu Qing nodded.

"That's good." Li Chengqian also said, "In the future, you can naturally come to Gu if you have something to do. As long as Gu can help you, you will not be stingy."

"Farewell!"

Without stopping Gu Qing from leaving, Li Chengqian stood on the balcony with an ugly expression on his face.

Chu Suiliang walked out from another room on the building, "His Royal Highness, don't be offended, Gu Qing is such a person, we should have expected him to say that."

"Gu Qing reminded Gu." Li Chengqian said after thinking, "Chu Suiliang, Gu Qing is right, approval is very important, and you can't force the father to abdicate. As long as Gu gets the approval of the courtiers, maybe it will be logical."

Chu Suiliang nodded and said nothing.

Leaving the streets of Chang'an, Gu Qing walked out of Chang'an City, wondering whether the prince was ambitious or filial, looked up and saw Di Renjie standing outside the city gate.

"teacher."

Getting on the horse, Gu Qing looked at Di Renjie, "Is everything okay recently?"

"I have encountered some twists and turns and now it is cleared up." Di Renjie said in a low voice, "A lot of people have gone to the monk, and Zhang Yugong has also killed a lot of people. Those eyeliners are right as we guessed. Some of them came from the palace. Some of them are from Jiangnan forces."

"Jiangnan forces?" Gu Qing asked suspiciously, "I didn't expect Jiangnan's hand to reach Chang'an."

Di Renjie and Gu Qing rode side by side, and Zhang Yugong also rode from the suburbs, "My lord, everything has been cleaned up."

"Jiangnan is very rich." Di Renjie said in a low voice, "And Jiangnan also fell in love with the teacher's business. He wanted to find out the teacher's business, but found our eyeliner. They followed the vine and entered our youth gang. A few days ago There was a mutiny in the gang, Brother Zhang Yugong ordered a lot of people to be slaughtered, and many guys were restrained. Now although these eyeliners have been cleared away, we are also hurting our vitality. The entire Green Gang has no available personnel except the backbone. Not much more."

Zhang Yugong also said, "The power that our Qing Gang has built in the past few years has been wasted."

"It doesn't matter." Gu Qing rode the horse slowly, "I'm afraid that there will be major changes in the government recently, so our people are still dormant."

"Yes!" Zhang Yugong said and left.

"Big change?" Di Renjie wondered.

"Your Majesty's health is getting worse." Gu Qing whispered.

Di Renjie also understood something, bowed his head and stopped talking.

"Gu Qing!"

Looking up, he saw Li Tai and Fang Yizhi, "What are you doing here, go! Come home with me and have a drink."

"Okay!" Li Tai nodded with a smile, "I've been waiting for your words all day."

Gu Qing rode his horse into the village, and the village was more lively than ever.

"More and more people live here." Li Tai said, "Gu Qing, if this continues, your village will become a county."

"It's too crowded." Gu Qing looked at the stretch of houses, "We still need to expand, I need land."

"You're even bigger." Li Tai said in surprise, "Could it be that you are building a city in the village?"
